Carvel Whale Cake in Context

Due to some comments made by the readership last week it seems that it may be a good idea to put things in some sort of context and not write like the screenplay of a Harry Potter movie.

I wake up in the morning and I put on iTunes. One of the tracks is by the comedian Patton Oswald and he is going about Carvel Ice Cream's commercials from the 1970's and 1980's. It turns out we both grew up in the Washington DC area so I remembered Carvel commercials where the founder would do the voice overs.

So I wondered what ever happened to Carvel? Do they still exist? It turns out there is a store in Los Altos! As I was going to see Brando and Raider I stopped off at the store on the way back to pick up the whale ice cream cake.

Show up in San Carlos and as the house is being shown we go to the Malibu Race Track. It is in a castle located near the 101. Very SoCal.
